Why is my gas water heater does not receive a new hot water?

We had our 15 year water heater replaced today. The old hot water to me, everything has not lasted 20 minutes with a shower. Now with the news that the water becomes hot, particularly in the shower, it is warm. We have tried to turn the temperature up all the way and does not help. Now, the technician said "maybe your plumbing lines are crossed. "Can not b / c heater 15 year old hot water. What can happen? But we have water warm until the technician installed the new water heater … even a shower faucets have hot water. The best we can get is hot and it takes longer than normal to warm even.

Make sure the valve on top of the knob is turned to the driver and no. If the plumber overheated the entry of cold water while sweating the copper line, it could melt the plastic dip tube that sends cold water deep in the water heater to heat. If the tube is melted you will never be hot and the plumber should be appointed to replace him. 20 minutes is a long shower and very depending on how much water the shower passes, it would be difficult for any hot water to follow. If your water heater is one gallon as 40 you 30 liters of water hot (80% of the tank size). If your shower head passes 3 gallons per minute, you have 10 minutes of hot water. Feel the water pipes leaving the heater, the cold chain must be cold, otherwise, as the lines are blurred words reversed and the plumber is either a fool or simply made a mistake ..
